Warehouse lighting work in West Sussex
Many West Sussex sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For West Sussex sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
What's included
- Lift and scaffold access planned around your operation
- Presence sensing per aisle so empty aisles dim or switch off
- Loading bay, dock leveller and yard lighting
- LED high bays or narrow-beam aisle fittings matched to racking heights
